4. All their data was dumped

The only reason for holding the release was the believed terrorist attacks on movie theaters was credible or wth knows? Sony appears to be incompetent, Sony Playstation was hacked.

There are references to Sony Pictures Germany being hacked earlier than year but having trouble finding articles 'at-the-time' which backs up the unreported claim if true

I'm still not sure if The Interview was the primary motive, ironically all their data was dumped except a copy The Interview on data sharing sites or just a false flag (or secondary to the revenge motive which seems apparent).

6. Sure, I can't think of a single reason not to trust my credit card data with Sony!

This is like the 4th thread on the topic.

10. Your CC info is on Google Play, so Sony has nothing to do with it.

I think they worked out a very profitable solution to this mess. At $5.99 a clip they'll make more $$ than they would have selling it to theaters. Too bad they'll be pissing off all the theater owners.

7. Wasn't going to watch it before all this crap started, don't plan on watching it now

It just looks like a bad movie from what little I have seen.

Watch it stoned in my living room.
